A chain-free, three-bedroom Victorian terraced home offered with a sitting tenant paying £595 pcm, presenting immediate rental income for a buyer seeking an investment in Darlington. The property sits within a compact 750 sq ft layout and includes a ground-floor bathroom and an enclosed rear courtyard with gated access.
Accommodation follows a traditional plan: entrance lobby, lounge with bay window, kitchen/dining room with fitted units and integrated hob and oven, rear lobby and ground-floor bathroom. Three first-floor bedrooms provide straightforward rental appeal to families or sharers. The home is freehold and currently occupied, simplifying transition for a cash buyer or landlord.
Strengths include the ready-made income stream, central Eastbourne location near schools and local amenities, and low running costs signalled by a very cheap council tax band. Buyers should note the overall property is small and described as a period fixer-upper: cosmetic updating and possible targeted repairs will be needed to maximise rent or resale value.
The wider area is mixed: good local schools nearby and fast broadband are positives, while the neighbourhood records higher crime and sits within a deprived area classification — factors that affect long-term capital growth and tenant demand. Suited to an investor or buyer prepared to refurbish for improved returns, the property offers clear short-term cashflow with scope for value uplift through refurbishment.
